'first' flight

[udet]

Finally got back in the air, after more than 3 years since my first 2 lessons. I started with the basics again. (turns climb descent)Man do I suck
The instructor said I was too uptight and was using way too much rudder. Hope I will get better with time.

Too quote the movie Contact:
Small moves, sparks, small moves!

Good luck with the PPL!

Good luck udet!

Cessnas usually require little to no rudder in turns and just a bit of right rudder while climbing.

You'll get the hang of it in no time

yeah, totally forgot about using right rudder in a climb. I don't think the 152 with its put-put engine needs any.

Udet,

Cessna is simple, keep it that way.  REmember to watch the Turn and Bank with "Slip Ball" keep it centered at all times unless intending to lead a turn, crab, or slip into a landing.  SOunds like you will be back into the groove in no time.  SAve the excessive rudder play for when you jump into the T-6.
